> people who think that doing drugs is mandatory to fix various spiritual/mental problems that prevent you from being a fully ethical being.
I don't doubt that these people exist, but this premise boggles the mind. Does that mean fully ethical beings didn't exist outside small geographic pockets where specific cacti and fungi grow before ~1960?
I think they would say (reasonably accurately, tends to be exaggerated though) that traditional cultures all around the world did have psychedelic practices of one kind or another. a lot of places on earth have some kind of psychedelic plant.
